<h1>idilate</h1><p><span class="helptopic">Morphological dilation</span></p><strong>out</strong> = <span style="color:red>idilate</span>(<strong>im</strong>, <strong>se</strong>, <strong>options</strong>) is the image <strong>im</strong> after morphological dilation
with the structuring element <strong>se</strong>.

<strong>out</strong> = <span style="color:red>idilate</span>(<strong>im</strong>, <strong>se</strong>, <strong>n</strong>, <strong>options</strong>) as above but the structuring element
<strong>se</strong> is applied <strong>n</strong> times, that is <strong>n</strong> dilations.

<h2>Notes</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Cheaper to apply a smaller structuring element multiple times than
one large one, the effective structuing element is the Minkowski sum
of the structuring element with itself N times.</li>
  <li>Windowing options of IMORPH can be passed.</li>
</ul>
